A fantastic day out for the whole family. The museum is spread out across 5 buildings and the staff are friendly and helpful. There are also demonstrations of some of the machines in action. Entry is free, but the recommended donation of £3 is a steal!

A must see in Manchester, very comprehensive and detailed history of Manchester. I was particularly impressed by the trains and planes/vehicles. 10/10.

As one of our children said today: Science and Industry Museum is EPIC. Another great day out at @msimanchester.
